This statement is coming in the wake of the power tussle which has enveloped the group in recent weeks, leading to destruction of properties worth Hundreds of Naira.

Addressing the group members at his palace on Thursday, Feburuary 15th, 2018, HRM said the group has been doing well before the infiltration of party politics which has rocked the group. He said, as security agents, they are not allowed to take part in party politics.

The monarch expressing his displeasure at the situation of the group mandated that those who aim to go into full time politics should resign from the group, stressing that the constitution of the group does not accommodate politicians. “Those in this group who allow politics to creep in, it will not go well for them, because you are destroying what is otherwise, a very useful group”. Dein also mandated that the Chairman of the Local Government, Barr. Victor Okoh counsels the members of the group as the Chief Security Officer of the Local Government.

He charged everyone to work together for the benefit of the local government, irrespective of political affiliations adding that he is a father to all.

The monarch further directed the Commander, Agbor Area Command, Lt. Nimfa to arrest members of the group if they step out of line. “Do not hesitate to discipline anyone who breaches the peace in my kingdom. If any of these young men fall into your drag net, give his name to the palace, or the Nigerian police force.

I am not interested in which political party you belong, but as long as you are interested in the security of Ika People, put aside your political party. Whatever the Local Government Chairman says, goes, as a barrister, I know he will not influence you along party lines. “Any politician giving you money to harm your brother or sister is a wicked politician,” Dein stated.

Going further, Dein enjoined them to uphold the law, stating that he will deal with any member of the group who steps outside the law to take human life in his kingdom or outside. “As 2019 approaches and the politics gets hot, if I hear that any of you is using politics to cause harm to your brother, I will make sure you are arrested” he added.
